Beverly Hills Diet founder dead at 63
Judy Mazel, the founder of the controversial Beverly Hills Diet, is dead at the age of 63, according to this article on Diet Blog. Mazel died on October 12th of complications from peripheral vascular disease.
The Beverly Hills Diet was criticized frequently by nutritionists and experts, and it's easy to see why. The main premise behind the diet was that food combinations were at the heart of weight loss. So, only one food group could be eaten at a time, and on the first 10 days of the program, dieters would eat nothing but fruit. The diet was unhealthy, bizarre and not based on real scientific evidence, but it's what Mazel says helped her lose 72 lbs and maintain a svelte 108 lbs for the remainder of her short life.
I don't know what specifically caused Mazel's death but 63 is too young to die, if you ask me.
